The Crystal Palace dinosaurs are my new favorite thing about London! The sculptures of dinosaurs and extinct animals were completed by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins under the supervision of Sir Richard Owen for the 1854 Crystal Palace exhibition. The Crystal Palace park has a prehistoric atmosphere and provides the perfect backdrop for these awesome creatures!

My new favorite place to eat in London is Gail's Bakery. I had the most delicious wildberry tea, glazed walnut scone, and blueberry pancakes. Everything I saw there looked divine - can't wait to go back and try some more of those pastries!

James and I went to visit Red House, the beautiful house in Bexleyheath where William Morris lived for five years. It was designed by Morris and the architect Philip Webb in 1859. We both tried to match our outfits with the house by wearing red. :-)
